Willy Tarreau 6219a58d28 BUG/MEDIUM: cli: fix once for all the problem of missing trailing LFs
Some commands are still missing their trailing LF, and very few were even
already spotted in the past emitting more than one. The risk of missing
this LF is particularly high, especially when tests are run in non-
interactive mode where the output looks good at first glance. The problem
is that once run in interactive mode, the missing empty line makes the
command not being complete, and scripts can wait forever.

Let's tackle the problem at its root: messages emitted at the end must
always end with an LF and we know some miss it. Thus, in cli_output_msg()
we now start by removing the trailing LFs from the string, and we always
add exactly one. This way the trailing LF added by correct functions are
silently ignored and all functions are now correct.

This would need to be progressively backported to all supported versions
in order to address them all at once, though the risk of breaking a legacy
script relying on the wrong output is never zero. At first it should at
least go as far as the lastest LTS (2.8), and maybe another one depending
on user demands. Note that it also requires previous patch ("BUG/MINOR:
vars/cli: fix missing LF after "get var" output") because it fixes a test
for a bogus output for "get var" in a VTC.

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for
ease of use.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for :

  - INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
  - BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
  - LICENSE for the project's license
  - CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions

The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory :

  - doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy
  - doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual
  - doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual
  - doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine
  - doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux
  - doc/management.txt for the management guide
  - doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite
  - doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference
